The cap that sits atop your chimney flue and shields it against animal entry, water intrusion, and other unwanted invaders, serves as one of the most important chimney components. Without a chimney cap, you could experience these problems:

Rain, snow, and sleet can enter your chimney flue and cause interior damage to the flue itself, the firebox, and the surrounding walls and ceilings. Think water stains along ceilings, rusted fireboxes, pooling water in your fireplace, and dollar signs.

Animals can come down and nest in your chimney, bringing bugs, nesting materials, feathers, fur, and other flammable and unwanted elements with them. Additionally, animals can die inside the chimney, leading to awful stenches and the frustration of removing the dead animals.

Large downdrafts can cause sudden bursts of cold air to enter your cozy living space.

Sparks and hot ashes can float up through your chimney system, out of your home, and onto nearby flammables – like brush and trees – and spark a fire on your property.

Preventing these things is as easy as having the right chimney cap properly sized, fitted, and installed atop your chimney. But what if a strong storm has knocked it loose? Or what if a raccoon or other animal has tampered with it? What if your existing chimney cap is unattractive and rusty?
